Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary gland.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary gland is a rare tumor only recently described in the English language literature. This paper adds four new cases to the 30 which have previously been reported. The clinical presentation of this unusual neoplasm is documented in the accompanying case reports and the appropriate surgical management outlined. Follow-up ranges from six months to 12 years. The histopathological characteristics of this interesting tumor, in particular its classical biphasic cellular appearance, are described in detail both by light and electron microscopy. On the basis of histologic appearance and biological behavior, the authors postulate that epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is an uncommon variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Late complications of prolonged tracheal intubation.

Questionnaires were sent to patients who had tracheal intubation for periods longer than three days in a large multidisciplinary Intensive Care Unit. The information sought was of complaints related to talking, breathing, coughing, swallowing and chest infection. Of patients who had been intubated for seven days or less, 63 per cent of the 52 patients responding had no complications while only one of the remainder had a major complication requiring surgical removal of a granuloma. Forty-eight per cent of patients intubated for more than seven days had no complaints and the rest of the patients had minor complaints which did not persist. Most complained of hoarseness. Of patients who had a tracheostomy following prolonged intubation, only 23 per cent were free of complications. From this it is concluded that tracheal tubes can be left in place for seven days and at this time direct laryngoscopy should be done. If no significant laryngeal pathology is seen at this examination, tracheal intubation may be continued.
